Lil Nas has caught flak from plenty his elders, including Dave East who called the chart-topping single “wack.” As a result, the Harlem MC was dragged on Twitter from here to old town road.

East ultimately blamed the internet for exaggerating the perceived hatred he has for the song.

“You gonna ask the lil nigga what he thinks about what I say, he ain’t supposed to give a fuck what I say,” East said. “I don’t give a fuck about what nobody says. I couldn’t even get mad at him]. Internet tried to twist the whole shit.”
